North Meets South

Hey y'all!

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Stephanie from BEAUtiful mess! For those of you who do know me, well...I guess I don't need to do any 'splainin...you already know of my awesomeness. ;) I'm a Texas newlywed(ish) who loves to travel, work out, get mah tan on, and anything pink. Oh! And that would be my sweet, sweet husband, Beau, and I of course I love him too. (Or BBFT, as Katie calls him.)


Moving right along...


So this mushy little affair between Katie and I has been quite obvs for quite some time now. Things are getting pretty serious and we've decided to take this lovefest to the next level.

Thaz right, Keep Calm & Carry On-ers! Third base...here we come!! Miss Katie and I will be meeting for the first time in February!!!

 

Scratch that...we aren't just "meeting". We'll be vacationing. Together.
 With our husbands. In the BEAUTIFUL Naples, Florida!!! 
Now that's not just any ol' blog meet up!



"Reunited and it feels so gooooood!" 

Ok, so we won't be "reunited" because we've technically never met but we have shared many texts, emails, group chats, G-chats, phone calls and Facetime dates (all at the same time, to be exact) to know just about any and everything about one another. Many.

In saying this, I must admit...there are several thoughts that have crossed my mind knowing that in less than 40 days, my husband and I will be hopping on a plane to go halfway across the country to meet an almost complete stranger and her husband. I mean, it's only normal to be a tad bit nervous, right?

And it will all start the moment we meet at the airport...

 
Will it be one of those run up to each other, start hugging/crying/laughing all at the same time kind of thing or will we do the ass out/awkward hug/nice to "meetcha" kinda thing? What if I'm more excited to meet her than she is me?

(Kidding. Who wouldn't be excited to meet me?! I can get down with the best of 'em!)

What about when we get to the condo? How will the sleeping arrangements be? Will she be the big spoon? I hate being big spoon. Should we sleep pole to pole OR hole to hole?

What if my husband secretly falls in love with her? I mean...she is a beautiful brunette with the most stunning blue eyes I've ever seen. AND she's an athlete. What guy wouldn't  love all these qualities in a girl?!  Psssh....not happnin', Katie. Sorry Charlie. You know I'm rowdy...

 Do you SEE what I'm talkin' about?!
 
What if after a day they decide they don't like us? Would they have the heart to kick us out?

Better yet...what if we don't like them? Would we just leave? How rude?! (Talk about an extra awkward blog post that would ensue if that happened...)

 

What will she think if I fart in front of her? What if my husband picks his nose in front of them? Will we confirm their suspicions that we really are rednecks?

Will she hold my hair back if I end up praying to the porcelain God one night? That IS what all "real" friends do, right?!

What if some chick tries to hit our husbands? Will Katie have my back? Will she go for the hair pull or do I?

What if she's some 7 foot tall, Sasquatch-like man who's been posing as this Ohio-State lovin' sweetheart and is waiting for me at the airport ready to slit my neck and eat my eyeballs?? This IS 2012. Things like this DO happen. (Ok. Maybe only in movies but still!!)


 

Ok so maybe I've exaggerated juuuust a teensy bit 
Katie and Billy seem pretty normal by the looks of things.
Don't they? 
(Trust me. If Katie is a total whackjob you will ALL know about it.)

To say the least, excited is an understatement. Expect an obnoxious amounts of photos come mid-February. Things are gonna go dowwwwn on these blogs of ours. ;)

...want to read MY (as in the owner of this blog) take on this blogger vacay?
I get to take over her blog and it gets good.
real good {are they swingers??}.

Read it HERE
(and leave me some love over there!)

  16. When I first moved to Columbus someone asked me if my husband and I were swingers. I was so unsuspecting at that point and said I didn't think so. Way to leave the door open a crack. I was mortified to find out what they meant later.
    In my defense I was 20.
    And from Indiana.

    But if ya'll are swingers I'm not judging.

  17. I think my fav part was "Trust me, if they are whackjobs you will ALL KNOW ABOUT IT" hahaha
